Based - on a patch by Rik Faith. + * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison) - BUG FIXES: - - * rsync.1 typo fix by Matt Kraai + * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael + Zimmerman) - * Fix for segfault in rsyncd.conf parser by Paul Mackerras + * Combining "::" syntax with the -rsh/-e option now uses the + specified remote-shell as a transport to talk to a (newly-spawned) + server-daemon. This allows someone to use daemon features, such + as modules, over a secure protocol, such as ssh. (JD Paul) - * Test suite typo fixes Tom Schmidt + BUG FIXES: + + * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John + L. Allen, Martin Pool) + + * Generate each file's rolling-checksum data as we send it, not + in a separate (memory-eating) pass before hand. This prevents + timeout errors on really large files. (Stefan Nehlsen) + + * Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham) + + * Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool) + + INTERNAL: + + * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin + Pool, Nelson Beebe) + + * More test cases. (Martin Pool) + + * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4. + (Jos Backus)
